Inspection on the Hoor Demanded by stoelmen.

A meeting was held at the Minnesota
state capitol recently, the gentlemen pres
ent being there on invitation OF Gov. Hub
bard. The object OF the meeting was to
consult with the state board OF health
concerning infectious diseases OF stock.
Gov. Hubbard presided.
DIR. Charles n. Hewitt explained the law
already in force. He gave review of the
work OF the board in dealing with CHAMBERS.
and expressed confidence in that feature OF
the law which called for its enforce
ments at the hands OF local boards OF
health, instead OF state yeterinari-
ans, as had been done in other
states with less success than in Min
nesota. He related instances of the work
ing OF the law, and gave an account OF his
visit to Chicago by request of the governor
last September at the time Of the breaking
out OF pleuro-pheumonia, and from a large
number OF kilograms received in answer to
inquiries, gave the status OF pleuro-pneu-
monia in the United States. IL is now in
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Illinois.
J. J. Hill was gratified with the doctors
report. 1t had cleared away some doubts
that had existed in his mind. Australia
had spent SIS, 600. 90 to get rid OF pleuro-
pneumonia, and England had spent $780,.
000 900. The disease was now worse in
Scotland than It has been for years. In re-
ferring to diseased meat he said he used no
meat in his own family except what he
killed himself Rigid inspection alone
would procure the health OF the people.
He believed Minnesota was the healthiest
state in the Union for feeding stock. II
the disease could be kept out, the meat oil
this state would have as good reputa.
ton as its No. / hard wheat had. He be-
lieved law should be passed enforcing in
spection on the hooi, and then diseased
cattle would not be shipped into the state.
DR.. Hewitt said the board would not
dare to make as radical suggestion as
that made by Mr.. Hill for the inspection
of cattle on the hoof, but twas thoroughly
in favor of it.
Mr.. Hill held that no hardship would be
worked by inspection on the hoof, SO long as
the state was free from pleuro- pneumonia.
DR.. Alleway sympathized with the move.
ment. Unless inspection was made on the
hoot it amounted to nothing.
A resolution was offered by j. j. Hill,
and adopted, expressing qualification for
the work OF the state board Of health for
the past year, and asking the legislature
for a contingent fund to enable the board
to continue its work.

A Word of warning.

To tie E'ditor Of the Dispatch:
1t might be well for the Legislature,
recently called together to provide or
suggest some means to protect the State
Treasury from depletion, and possibly
bankruptcy, by the unpatriotic use of
coupons, to pause before they shall lay
burdens upon those expecting relief by
increasing the salaries of our judges
and doubling the mileage. However
much all intelligent citizens may desire
to see an Independent and well-paid
judiciary, it appears to me that now Is
not the time nor the occasion for any
unusual appropriations. To-day was
court-day, and more than few severely
condemned this proposed expenditure
at present-iust on the eve OF the spring
elections, which must very materially
forecast those which are to be held in
the fall The Democratic party has
now Just little more failings to answer
for than the average country politician
can explain away. The failure of the
Blair bill and the failure TO repeal the
tobacco tax will give us all the trouble
we require. Hence l would respect
fully suggest to these gentlemen at the
Capitol, Go slow. DEMOCRAT.

Ritter Rrenh.

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powdersthat they
leave in bread. biscuit. or cake raised
by them a disagreeable, bitter taste.
This taste follows the use of all impure
taking powders, and is caused either by
their containing alum introduced to
make a cheap article), by the impure
and adulterated character Of other in
gradients used, or from the ignorance
of their manufacturers of the proper
methods of combining them. These
baking powders leave in the bread a
residuum formed OF lime, earth, alum,
or other dcleterious matters, not al
ways, though frequently, tastable in
the food. and by ali physicians classed
as injurious to health. The Royal
Paking Powder is free from this serious
defect: In its use no residuum is left,
ond the loaf raised by it is always
sweet, light, and wholesome, and no.
ticeebly free from the peculiar taste
complained of. The reason of this is
because it is composed of nothing but
absolutely pure materials, scientifically
combined in exactly the proper pro-
portions OF acid and alkali to act upon
and destroy each other, while pro-
ducing the largest amount OF rising
power. We are justified in this asser-
tion from the unqualified statements
made by the Government chemists,
who, after thorough and exhaustive
tests, recommended the "Royal" for
governmental use because Of its SUI
periority over all others in purity,
strength, and wholesomeness. There
is no danger Of bitter bread or biscuit
where it alone is used. ~
